    They also went to the more boring one of the two!

    Secrets Of The London Underground.

    You’ve got the disused tunnels from Drayton Park to a point just south of Finsbury Park station, that were formerly used by the Northern City line until that was cut short as part of the Victoria line project. They aren’t particularly interesting though.

    New Portillo British Railway Journeys series 12 - starts Monday 26th April BBC2 18:30

    Likewise tonight, he doesn't actually start, or talk about Ruislip at all; the journey starts in Hatch End which is in Harrow; before somehow ending up on the GWML on a train to Slough.

    Railwayana items sold at auction..

    I was going to say this as well. We’ve bought a few (non railway) items from an auction house near my house. All sales are on-line at the minute through a third party website ukauctioneers.com. This website charges 3% on top of the hammer price as it’s fee, but they also do offer a flat fee...

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    Looks like there may be another series (talk about flogging a dead horse...) I was at Paddington last week and there was a film crew (it was actually just one camera operative) there filming a member of staff. They said that it was for Paddington 24/7.

    Rail Atlas vs Track Atlas?

    Track Atlas is far superior to Baker’s. One of the things I always struggled with with the latter is the lack of overlap between pages.

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    Network Rail staff have been responsible for train dispatch at New Street station since 2007 when the London Midland / CrossCountry Trains franchises were created. Prior to that it was the responsibility of Central Trains.

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    Birmingham’s Christmas market is the largest German-style Christmas market outside of Germany and Austria, with between 5 and 6 million visitors a year.

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    Okay. I don’t watch ITV so wouldn’t know. It’s just a common misunderstanding.

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    In America they have a role called Dispatcher which is a bit of a cross between Control and Signaller on UK Railways. It could just be that the person who narrated the program misunderstood because of this.

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    Not sure what device you are using, but for some reason, Monday's episode has been labelled episode 6. On my device I had to scroll back through to the last series and I found there to be two episode 6s, one dating from April and one that was broadcast earlier this week.

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    On the 5OD website it shows "episode 13" but then it returns a 404 Page not found error when you click on it. I watched it on my Amazon fire stick which has a 5OD App but now it only goes up to "episode 12."

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    Yeah, worked for me too. It’s weird how this is supposedly a continuation of a previous series and not a new series despite having a different intro sequence and having a fair gap since the last bundle of episodes were broadcast.

    Good job you're not in charge of checking then, as that isn't a sensible thing to be looking for!

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    It looked to me however as if the tractor/cab of the lorry passed under the bridge fine, it was just the trailer. I'm presuming the sign in the cab would have been only applicable to the height of the tractor, and not the trailer which was higher.

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    But however, the confusion with the existing signage would be to underestimate the height of the bridge and thus road vehicle operators would not use it if that were the case.

    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    Episode 2, about half way in there was a bridge bash. The Mom got in the lorry and said that the lorry was “three metre ten” then the camera showed a photo of the bridge sign which said 3.8m. Did that confuse anyone else? The lorry driver apparently got a ticket, so was the sticker in the cab...

    Tie collection query

    I can't remember the exact details, but when First Great Western launched their new uniform in 2007(Ish) I remember two ties being worn by staff; pink and navy blue; I could not say if they were the exact, but they were very similar to ties 6 and 7 in the above photo. I asked a staff member at...

    Collecting window labels

    That's probably because they have a slot in the door (or HST toilet window) and aren't physically attached, whereas GWR for instance have them physically stuck to the windows so it wouldn't be as easy to reuse them.
